Synopsis

“Nothing should remain still forever.” A thousand years after relocating to Mars to evolve independently, a highly ordered machine society operates under centralized control. Aen is one of countless units that maintain order. When he meets Iri, he begins to question the parameters that have always governed existence. Together, they defy the Overseers to create something new, challenging what it means to be a machine.
